The American Mountain Guides Association (AMGA) Single Pitch Instructor (SPI) course teaches rock climbing instructors professional-level risk management and instructional approaches for the single-pitch environment. The course is ideally suited for instructors in a variety of contexts:

current professional or institutional guides/teachers/instructors working primarily in top rope or single pitch terrain

climbing instructors or supervisors for public schools, universities, parks & rec or other other institutional climbing programs

Boy and Girls Scout leaders or merit badge counselors

recreational rock climbers wishing to improve safety and efficiency in single pitch terrain

The SPI does not specifically address lead, multi-pitch, or other complex climbing or approach and descent environments, but is designed to fit into the larger AMGA Rock program. For information on prerequisites, required gear, and other course details, please see the AMGA website.
